Hello, my name is Jasmine Marin. I am a nationally certified professional interpreter for Deaf, Hard of Hearing and non-deaf consumers.

This website is designed to provide you with information about interpreting services and what you can expect when hiring an interpreter.

Why Hire an Interpreter?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires businesses, public entities, and places of public accommodation, (medical providers, legal providers, mental health, employers, etc.) to provide effective communication including qualified ASL interpreters for people with disabilities. Learn more about your responsibilities here: www.ada.gov

Interpreters can help you achieve your goals. Informed consent, accurate and complete medical histories, and reduced repeat visits are all examples of the benefits of providing professional interpreting.

Without an interpreter, appointments take longer, communications can be incomplete or confusing, and patients/clients often walk away unsure and dissatisfied.

Why a Certified Interpreter?

Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, (RID) Certified interpreters maintain confidentiality and neutrality in their work. Certification ensures a higher quality of interpretation and communication as well as knowledge and decision-making skills on issues of ethics, culture and professionalism.

Without a certified, licensed interpreter, you have no assurance that communication is effective or accurate. Using friends or family members who are unlicensed can result in biased interpretations and omitted crucial information.
